new book 5

The characters have come to terms with their situation and have decided to venture out of their plane rather than die of starvation. This decision shows the maturity that they have come to know after their friends and family have died. They have not given up hope, but in making this decision, they show a lack of reality. They would rather think that there is a tiny hope for life by acting rather than thinking about death and how they would die if they did not act. By leaving, they are leaving all that they know and venturing into the land of the unknown. They think of it as going from the sand box to the street, where anything can happen. I feel that this decision shows immaturity and a naive attitude from the companions.
